Avocado Chicken Salad Sandwiches

So this appears it was an easy dish that D made.  It was a little bland, but could be fixed.  I think adding cumin or a jalapeno or some type of SW Seasoning would help.  I also think changing the bread to a pita or a sourdough would be better.  The wheat overpowered the salad (on the second day).

But I like the texture, and the creaminess, so I would have again.

We had with jalapeno and lime refried beans.

Avocado gives this chicken salad a rich, creamy texture as well as a healthy dose of monounsaturated fat, which protects against heart disease.
